This Week: We will learn to distribute polynomials as well as factoring (which, to put it simply, is the opposite of distribution). As we progress in our quadratics unit, these will help us to transition between the three parabolic equations and, more importantly, help us to find the x-intercepts of parabolas. These are useful for liftoff and landing points in problems involving gravity.

 

Common Core State Standards: HS.F-IF.B. Interpreting Functions: Interpret functions that arise in applications in terms of the context.

 

Due from Last Week: Vertex Form worksheet
